Life Story entry #320 - Found a cool way to advertise on ebay for free :)

I got rid of the silver Stagea earlier this week, but still had it up on ebay. So I simply edited my ad to contain the words "Will swap" and they removed/suspended it without charge :)

What post number does it start at? Page 32 for me is the last page.

friggin lol at that thread...why even post about street racing in the first place??? i mean ffs i posted a pic of me doin a skid "on my unlces property" and then almost 2 months later a lovely mod warned me for it...that was back in the 31 club days....if im gonna get warned for doing something...why wait for nearly 2 months.....the guy was a dooshbag victorian anyway

Funny thing is, its easy to believe that. With so many "proud" street racers in Australia, just loving to post and make the cops look bad even when they're doing you a favour, surprised it hasn't happened already.

I'm sure we'd have our very own thread like that if Officer Neil was on board :P

Geez Vu you had your license in year 11....if i remember correctly i was only 15 then

Actually went for my L's as soon as I could about mid-year 10 and got Ps by start of year 11... you must of been a young one lol most people went for theirs about that time to mid 11.

well we already got ppl stupid enough to bag him on threads he's reading, my favs was at the car show he went to. ppl saying "he was taking pics of my car what a f head" and giving him other assorted cr#p

so he's got your vin number prob license plate aswell not that it matters, and can get any details he wants of you and your insulting him on a thread you know he'll read. what are you hoping to gain other than pissing off someone that can burn you good if he wants.

and krishy if u were 15 in yr11 so u were what 16 in yr 12 wtf? half ppl at my yr12 formal were 18 and the other half 17. think u got ur math wrong :P

I was 16 when I was in year 12. Whats going on? People flunking or repeating enough to be 18 by year 12?

Mind you, I was in year 12 in 1989 ... prob well before most of you were born :P

yea 16 at the start right? turned 17 during. unless you getting pushed up years that should be how it go's

i turned 18 early in the following year, tis good when u can sign ur own permission slips :P

the cut off date is around june for which year you go into

i was bought in 87, your argument is invalid :) i was 17 in year 12, turned 18 that october.

I turned 16 late December in year 11 ... so I was a genuine 16 all the way through year 12. Child genius! :P

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
